If the trough picks it up like the one that picked Charley up. Then Florida may get a Major hurricane.

Got me a bit concerned too.
Despite my nick, I hate recurving storms. Hard to escape from them in the Keys.

Sanibel, haven't seen you since....a whole alphabet ago it seems like.

WOW... it takes it across FL completely in under 6 hours. Such a change from what we have had the past 2 years! This is an Andrew like speed storm.

This thing would rake miami-dade, broward, west palm only counting th east coast if it crosses where the gfdl is showing. That is a lot of damage just on the east coast. Let along Naples and surrounding areas will be pummeled.

Matt - do you know where I can find the pressure guide as to how strong it will get at certain pressures? I have seen it before and can't find it anymore.

The problem with that will be that the entire basin is at a very unusal low pressure mean. That is why Wilma has such a low pressure but the winds aren't there to match. GRADIENTS ARE EVERYTHING.

Look at Andrew. Pressure wasn't lowest ever... 922. Barely was low enough for cat5. But it was well into cat5 in winds. Since there was a VERY strong high pressure ridge to its north creating a strong gradient.

Well said Eric. This was also discussed in the 11 PM package from NHC.
